LibriVox recording of Eleanor's Victory by Mary Elizabeth Braddon.
Read in English by Eleanor Howard
Only 15-years-old, Eleanor Vane is very happy with her lot: educated in an expensive finishing school in Paris, the apple of her father's eye, and disposed to be kind. Of course there are things missing: she does not remember her mother who died when she was young. But at least she has her father... Until he unexpectedly dies. Now Eleanor is at the mercy of her half-siblings who were never in touch with her, and the rest of the world who would consider her an orphaned beggar. Sent to work as a lady's companion to an old friend of her late father's, Eleanor might, just might, be able to win a respectable place in society. This novel is also famous for being one of the first Victorian novels with a female detective. - Summary by Stav Nisser

Subject: Wonderful Reading, Eleanor
Subject: Wonderful Reading, Eleanor
As a professional musician I feel qualified to hear sincerity and heart (or what musician's refer to as "soul") in you wonderful reading of a great story.
The ... book seemed to touch upon all of the virtues and disgraces all of us may at sometime exhibit. Love of family, unconditional love of Eleanor for her father, forgiveness (which is one of the chief virtues of a Christian in my belief). I believe, as I have at times, that all of us at some time or other want to hurt those who hurt us. But Eleanor conquered this feeling and this is only the beginning of what I could write about this book. To paraphrase Tennyson you lent the beauty and kindness of your voice to the great talent of the author. I am very thankful to you for your long labor in presenting this book to those of us who, as I did, might be able to learn from and enjoy it. God bless you. and God Bless Librivox!!!
